I've got a single-upvote unanswered, rarely-viewed question as well. The criteria doesn't say anything about votes, so either the description needs to be fixed or the criteria needs to be loosened to match the description. I don't think upvotes should play into this at all. All an upvote means is that it's a tumbleweed OTHER people would like to see answered as well.

His question is nearly a month old, so if its taking this long, the phrasing on the criteria should be updated to be more accurate. However, I suspect for some reason his question is not eligible, its just not clear to me why.

Maybe, though not mentioned in the description of the badge, but the upvote took it out of Tumbleweedness.

@Random, if that is the case, it is undocumented and I think that should be corrected (and I'm also inclined to disagree with the choice, but that's a different story/question).
